Si yo _________ (omitir) algo en esta carta, lo siento.
a.omitimos
b.omiten
c.omito
d.omites
I know omitir means skip, and I know what the sentence says. I wanted to know if anyone could find me anything helpful when it comes to -IR verbs?
I do not get the whole -IR verbs and etcetera, I am extremely confused, could you/anyone, haha, help? Thanks.
I'll send this to our Spanish expert, SraJMcGin.
Thank you Ms.Sue, I appreciate it.
When you post any homework, be sure to also post the directions you were given! It helps to also know which level of Spanish you are in = I, II, III, etc.
I can see that you are working with a "si clause" here. The primary meaning of "omitir" is to "omit, overlook, neglect" and the sentence is saying: "If I omit/do omit/am omitting something in this letter, I'm sorry (about it)."
When you say you do not get the -IR verbs, do you mean the conjugation? This is a regular -IR verb, so the endings are (yo)-o, (tú) -es, (él, ella, usted) -e,(nosotros, nosotras) -imos, (vosotros, vosotras) -is,(ellos, ellas, ustedes) -en. If that is not what you mean, please explain further.
I will flag this so I can come back later to answer any questions you may still have.
Sra
the answer is c. (Present Indicative)
That actually helped a lot!!!!
I’m very excited because I’m going to go to the theater tonight.
Estoy muy emocionada porque ___________ ir al teatro esta noche.
a.tengo que
b.tienes que
c.voy a
d.vas a
Do you think you could help with "Tener + que + inf.; Ir + a + inf. (To Have to…; To Be Going to…)"
I copied and pasted the "info".
This is an example of the questions I have been receiving.
I’m very excited because I’m going to go to the theater tonight.
Estoy muy emocionada porque ___________ ir al teatro esta noche.
a.tengo que
b.tienes que
c.voy a
d.vas a
When tener is followed by que, the next work is an infinitive (ending in -ar, -er, ir).
Tengo que hablar español = I have to (I must) speak Spanish.
When ir is followed by a, the next work is either an infinitive or a noun.
Voy a ir a la biblioteca = I'm going to go to the library.
Voy a estudiar allí = I am going to study there.
In the last example, would you rather say: a) I'm very excited because I have to go to the theater tonight. OR b) I'm very excited because I am going to go to the theater tonight.
a) implies you are perhaps "forced" to go and I don't think you would be happy about that.
b) implies that you are going to be doing something you want to do!
I'll still come back later to see that you have no further questions.
Sra
Of course! I'd be happy to help you understand -IR verbs in Spanish.
In Spanish, verbs can be categorized into three main groups: -AR verbs, -ER verbs, and -IR verbs. Each group follows a different conjugation pattern.
For -IR verbs, such as "omitir" (to skip), the endings of the verb change depending on the subject pronoun. Here's a breakdown of the conjugation pattern for present tense:
- Yo (I): -o
- Tú (you, familiar): -es
- Él/Ella/Usted (he/she/you formal): -e
- Nosotros/Nosotras (we): -imos
- Vosotros/Vosotras (you all, familiar): -ís
- Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes (they/you all formal): -en
So, when you see the sentence "Si yo ___________ (omitir) algo en esta carta, lo siento," you need to choose the correct form of the verb "omitir" to fill in the blank.
Let's go through the options:
a. omitimos: This is the correct form for "we omit." It doesn't match the subject pronoun "yo" in the sentence, so it's not the correct answer.
b. omiten: This is the correct form for "they/you all omit." Again, it doesn't match the subject pronoun "yo," so it's not the correct answer.
c. omito: This is the correct form for "I omit." It matches the subject pronoun "yo" in the sentence, so it's a possible correct answer.
d. omites: This is the correct form for "you (familiar) omit." It doesn't match the subject pronoun "yo," so it's not the correct answer.
Based on the above explanations, the correct answer to fill in the blank would be c. omito.
Remember, the key to understanding -IR verbs or any other verbs in Spanish is to practice conjugating them regularly. As you practice more, you'll become more familiar with the conjugation patterns and be able to choose the correct verb form more easily.
